The Ontario Harness Horse Association (OHHA) welcomes the ORC report from the Standing Committee on

Government Agencies. The report, available through the ministry’s website (Standing Committee On Government Agencies ORC Report), is the result of hearings held in February of this year (2009) where various representatives of the horse racing industry appeared including OHHA. The report acknowledges the input from all interested parties and makes five specific Recommendations.

Darryl MacArthur, President of OHHA, commented “On behalf of the Standardbred Horsepeople of Ontario I thank the panel’s Chair, Julia Munro, Vice-Chair, Lisa Macleod and the other panel members for their efforts and consideration in producing this report. I would also like to thank our industry partners from OHRIA, RTO, HBPA and SHOP for their input and efforts which made this process possible and look forward to continued co-operation with the ORC and all industry partners in the development of the provincial Gaming Strategy.”
